Leah Lou The 2 Left Shoes - Come & Get Me

i'm too young to be stuffed in your pocket
locked up like all your loose change
saved up for a rainy day, spent when you say it's okay
waiting to be given away

i'm too old to be tied up to your heart
like a dog on a leash out in the yard
following you and begging for food
obeying and staying when
you tell me too

you love me when i'm fast asleep
you love me when i'm on my knees
you love me when i just don't speak

i'm too dumb to learn all of your lessons
like a big brainless beast with a text book
ripping the pages and stuffing his face
dining on science cuz science tastes great

i'm too smart to be sat down and lied to
like a whiny child told not to cry
"if i were you, i'd stop making that face,
it'll get stuck that way. you'll run out of tears
and you'll need 'em some day"

you love me when i'm fast asleep
you love me when i'm on my knees
you love me when i just don't speak
you love me when you're all alone
you love me when your schedule's full
you love me less each time you call
"come and get me"

cowardly cleveland city resident
call the police again just like your dad
talented tipsy little teenage me
can't believe i didn't see it coming when you smiled at me

you love me when i'm fast asleep
you love me when i'm on my knees
you love me when i just don't speak
you love me when you're all alone
you love me when your schedule's full
you love me less each time you call
"come and get me"
